Built to Solve a Problem
This project embodies my philosophy: I code to solve problems. I needed a desk clock but didn't want to buy an expensive LED clock when I had an old Android tablet sitting unused. So I built Focus Clock for my personal use.
What started as a weekend project became a fully-featured app with multiple watch faces, customization options, and integrated productivity tools. It's a testament to how coding can transform everyday needs into elegant solutions.
